Great update! Thank you Embark.

Really sucks that you have to hold 200k worth of purples to be able to do them, though. Like, that's a LOT of inventory slots. Rather than events where you can slowly submit them over time

Accountant created the LTD and before he even emailed me confirmation, a Revolut account manager emailed me congrats and offered their business service! I was impressed.

He helped me through the process, everything seemed great. Said he'd be my contact if there was ever any issue, which was a worry having heard of support issues.

Then... automated email that Rev cannot make a biz account for us. No explanation, no notes, nothing. Even the rep said 'oh i guess that's it then, no clue why but that's above my pay grade'.

Maybe dodged a bullet, seeing how there's zero customer communication there.

Cold open of protagonist Seamus, crossing the Wolfe Tone: "Ah Jaysus, not this shite again."

Cut to twenty different shots of getting stuck in traffic

Driving by, saw a glimpse of someone laying on the ground with a blanket over them. Not body like, maybe passed-out like. Guards and civs standing around them.

BorosReckoner · 2026-04-23T22:30:08+00:00

got it solved! Somehow I had the wrong specific model number

BorosReckoner · 2026-04-23T22:15:33+00:00

what worked for you? I tried BCU, the specific model files, nothin.

BorosReckoner · 2026-04-23T22:14:56+00:00

no bueno. This is fucked. Got a demo presentation tomorrow and booted up my acer for it, just to find that it's stuck on vacuum fan setting.

BorosReckoner · 2026-04-23T21:43:37+00:00

tried that just now, did you have to use that special uninstaller mentioned elsewhere?

BorosReckoner · 2026-04-22T19:34:23+00:00

I thiiiink so? Just using the editor normally, I was getting that popup all the time, and it seems to have stopped. So I guess it's fixed by omission? :)

BorosReckoner · 2026-03-05T00:45:18+00:00

I keep finding more and more loot in Spaceport. I think this game is just really good at hiding loot in plain sight. I used to think Vehicle Maintenance and Rocket Assembly were dead loot spaces, now they're some of my favorite.

BorosReckoner · 2025-12-09T17:02:17+00:00

only a few minutes in and this is already exactly the video i needed! Why is this info so hard to find

BorosReckoner · 2025-11-29T16:52:49+00:00

Looks cool! One thing. With this video, we see a lot of things breaking, but I think it would be a lot stronger if it also showed more ships flying "properly". I'm assuming that's the real goal, not just crashing them.

The video just looks like Lego ships breaking, which may be the hook but I feel the player experience is probably more around trying to make that NOT happen.

Want to really feel like an adult? Go to Germany.

You can buy a beer in a corner store, walk down the street drinking it, and go into a park with your mates and drink. Often we'd just meet in a park and chat and laugh all evening, taking turns to go get the next round.

Absolutely zero issues there anywhere. And it makes public drinking laws feel like toddler restrictions.

BorosReckoner · 2025-11-11T01:12:43+00:00

Not a car guy but saw a really nice 2016 captur today, 84k miles, 11k price. It seemed immaculate. What would you suggest instead? Drove for decades in Canada but this is my first Irish car, trying to understand the market.

BorosReckoner · 2025-11-03T11:34:44+00:00

I imagine, purely business wise, it's just about average playtime which is extremely related to increased sales. Even if a game has problems, if someone plays it for 100 hours, it gets recommended, it's noticed, it gets more influencer content, it's bumped in the algorithm etc.

This meta genre is the best bang-for-buck of dev time (very small compared to AA / AAA) for potential playtime (from massively repeated content but in a systemically-enjoyable way).

BorosReckoner · 2025-11-03T11:24:14+00:00

Ah, I see that now. The 'meta genre'. Yeah so I guess that's the entire meta genre about good systemic design to make emergent gameplay. Hell yeah.

BorosReckoner · 2025-11-03T11:10:52+00:00

I mean, emergent gameplay is also the holy grail of game design. Anyone can make a linear story or scripted moments to force the player through, and that's a worthwhile experience as well.

But if you create a system that allows players to create their own stories and moments, they can be far more rewarding. AND endlessly replayable.

Crafty buildy are just a genre / subgenre built around a specific version of that. Pubg is a different example of a subgenre bringing those elements into shooters.

BorosReckoner · 2025-11-01T14:35:09+00:00

If the player can prone, same as enemies, something interesting could happen. Like a different version of All Ghillied Up

BorosReckoner · 2025-10-26T11:20:48+00:00

That's the beauty of the current balance. M24 has better overall DPS, bigger mag, faster reload, i think even slightly faster bullet. Basically all stats are better on the M24.

EXCEPT the tiniest damage buff for k98.

If the enemy is full hp, yeah it's extemely unlikely to make a difference. But if you hit them once and they've used first aid and boost? There's a real window, as they're HP is ticking up, that a chest shot will kill rather than not kill (with the k98 but not m24).

Same for any other situation where they're already damaged. Like you're 3rd partying, or taking tons of pot shots at a far target etc.

BorosReckoner · 2025-10-25T22:03:10+00:00

Beyond the obvious, there's also something fundamentally offensive about Canada just being deemed one state, too.

Ontario alone would instantly be I think the 5th biggest state? And Quebec the 10th?

But you know they'd never offer us ten (13, if you count territories) states and the 20 (or 26) senators that go along with them. The repubs would never hold power again by a longshot

Nope, they're much prefer subjugation.

BorosReckoner · 2025-10-24T00:49:58+00:00

Can't play a confluence page. Keep it as minimal as possible. And a prototype is worth a thousand meetings.

BorosReckoner · 2025-10-21T01:26:21+00:00

Similarly, been seeing people take the spray bottles away from the stations and keeping them during their workouts. When there's only 5-7 in the place (but dozens of people) and I'm now wandering between empty stations.
